The integration of corpus-based approaches with top-down discourse analysis in this volume is a significant achievement, and its clearly described procedures will be valuable to anybody attempting further work of this kind.

<i>Discourse on the Move</i> is interesting and inspiring. It is a valuable work of synthesis, where several previous approaches are combined to produce more extensive and comprehensive findings. The book is aimed at corpus linguists, but it can be informative also for those computational linguists, NLP researchrs and language engineers who are keen to incorporate language variation and genre specifics into computational models.
